That was a terrible day. All US traffic was rerouted to Newfoundland, everything passed literally over my province on the way to Gander. We noticed that before hearing what had happened, the rest we watched live. My Dad, a career pilot screamed "pan pan" in his nursing home, seeing that plane over and over. He had Alzheimer's and that was all he knew, but a pan-pan is a potential on flight emergency, before a mayday...

Alzheimers is a cruel disease- I have a Merchant Mariner Captain when I first started nursing, he was very like my father- and he broke my thumb and 2 fingers in separate incidents. He had no mind, but his instincts were still good- he was in WW2 in his mind.
But In a terrible, quick flash one day he said to me "I don't know what it is, but I'm losing my mind". Then he was gone again, babbling foolishness. But for one moment in time he knew he was mentally fucked- it was so sad.

It's ok, it was funny how you responded.
TBH, I didn't know what a pan-pan was until that day. He'd crash landed a jet before, was no big deal to him or us (I still have the fire axe almost 50 years later, good axe, did it's job well) but with squirrels eating your brain- and all they show you on TV is a ground-hog day of planes crashing, he must have been in absolute, fucking Hell.
